(h) RESULTS OF DUE DILIGENCE. Buyer's inspection, testing and examination of the Assets and the Businesses conducted pursuant to Section 5.07 shall not have revealed any matter which, in the reasonable judgment of a comparable industry third party purchasing assets and businesses comparable to the Assets and Businesses, would, alone or in the aggregate, cause such a third party not to purchase the Assets for reasons other than changes or conditions in the industry and in markets. (i) WATER RIGHTS. Buyer shall have received an assignment, and all required consents thereto, of a fully executed, valid and effective contract between Sellers and the United States Bureau of Reclamation in the form set forth in Schedule 6.02(i), and, in addition, a comparable industry third party purchasing assets and businesses comparable to the Assets and Businesses would in its reasonable judgment determine, following due diligence review as provided in Section 5.07, that an assured water supply, at a cost not materially exceeding historical costs, will be available in the immediate future through a valid and enforceable contract with a term of not less than 10 years with a local municipality for delivery of water through the Refinery's existing delivery point(s) in an amount sufficient to operate the Refinery as it is now operated by Sellers and has been operated by Sellers on an historical basis. If such an assured water supply is not immediately available, Sellers and Buyer shall together in good faith attempt to determine if other mutually satisfactory assurances of adequate long-term supply are available. The water rights described on Schedule 3.01(l) shall have, in the past, provided the Refinery with an adequate water supply to operate in the ordinary course of business without interruption or shut down and without objections, litigation, threatened litigation or similar claims, except as set forth on such Schedule. The water rights granted by the contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation described above, together with the "Owned Rights" described on Schedule 3.01(l), shall be sufficient to allow Buyer to operate the Refinery as it is currently being operated and as it has been operated on a historical basis; and except as set forth in such Schedule, there shall be no objections, threatened objections, complaints, litigation, threatened litigation or other matters with respect to, limiting or affecting the continued use of such water by Buyer. (j) COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT. Buyer shall have entered into an agreement(s) with those labor organizations, or successors thereto, that are parties to the collective bargaining agreements set forth in Exhibit 3.01(k) containing terms and conditions no more onerous than those contained in said collective bargaining agreements in any material respect. (k) APPROVAL OF WATER USAGE. The New Mexico State Engineer Office shall have approved the continued removal of groundwater in connection with environmental remediation activities at the Refinery and said approval shall not unreasonably restrict the amount of groundwater that may be removed for such purpose after the Effective Time, or Buyer shall have received from Montgomery & Andrews, New Mexico legal counsel to Buyer, reasonable assurances to the effect that lack of such approval will not have a material adverse effect on such remediation activities. (l) INTANGIBLE PROPERTY. Buyer shall have obtained all material Intangible Property necessary to own and operate the Assets and the Businesses as they are now operated and as they have been operated on an historical basis. The continued operation of the Refinery Business and the Pipeline Business and the use of such Intangible Property and the Licenses shall not infringe any valid patent, copyright, tradename or other right held by any third party in any material respect. No claim by any third party contesting the validity, enforceability, use or ownership of the Intangible Property or Licenses shall have been threatened or outstanding. (m) NO VIOLATION. No oral or written notice, citation, order or judgment shall have been issued, no penalty shall have been assessed, and no investigation or review shall be pending or threatened by any Person with respect to any alleged material violation of any Laws or Environmental Laws (other than as disclosed as an Existing Environmental Liability), or with respect to any alleged failure to have any material Licenses or Permits in connection with the Assets or the Businesses. (n) VALIDITY OF CONTRACTS. All material Contracts and leases of real property (i) shall be in full force and effect, (ii) shall be legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and (iii) shall not be in default and no events have occurred thereunder, which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both could cause any such Contract or leases of real property to be in default. All monies due and performance required under the terms of all material Contracts and leases of real property through the Effective Date shall have been paid and performed or Sellers will give adequate assurance that such will be so paid and performed. (o) CONDEMNATION. There shall be no material condemnation, expropriation, eminent domain, or similar proceeding pending or threatened affecting any of the Assets. (p) COSTS RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES. The costs and expenses of Buyer to comply with Environmental Laws and to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge Environmental Liabilities would not, in the reasonable judgment of a comparable industry third party purchasing assets and businesses comparable to the Assets and Businesses, be materially increased over the historical costs incurred by Sellers in connection therewith. (q) REASSESSMENTS AND REEVALUATIONS. There shall have been no proposed reassessments or reevaluations of any of the Assets, any imposition of additional assessments or special assessments, or any other proposals that would increase the amount of any taxes relating to the Assets or the Businesses, that would have a Material Effect. (r) PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENTS. Prior to Closing Sellers shall have provided to Buyer profit and loss statements for BRC for each month subsequent to May, 1995 as is normally available. (s) COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Except for the Existing Environmental Liabilities, the Assets, the Businesses and the ownership and operation thereof as they are currently being owned and operated and as they have been owned and operated on an historical basis and all Refined Products produced thereby shall be in compliance with all Environmental Laws, the failure of which compliance could have a Material Effect. (t) CRUDE OIL CONTRACTS. All contracts for the purchase or supply of crude oil identified by Sellers in Schedule 3.02(g) shall have been transferred to Buyer without any material modifications, amendments, or additional costs, financial obligations or other requirements or Buyer shall have received replacement or substitute contracts or other arrangements have been made to give Buyer substantially the same benefits, without material modifications, amendments, or additional costs, financial obligations or other requirements. (u) OSHA MATTERS. Except as referred to in Section 3.01(h), all requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and all requirements of any similar laws or regulations of any state, tribal or local jurisdiction (the "OSHA REQUIREMENTS") relating to the Assets, the Businesses or the ownership or operation thereof as they are now owned and operated, and as they have been owned and operated on an historical basis, shall have been complied with in all material respects. Sellers shall have not received any citation or other notice of alleged violation of OSHA Requirements from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or any comparable administration of any state, tribal or local jurisdiction (an "ADMINISTRATION") or any Administration inspector setting forth any respect in which the Assets, the Businesses, or the ownership or operation thereof is not in compliance with OSHA Requirements, which noncompliance shall not have been corrected or remediated to the satisfaction of such Administration or inspector. (v) CONVENTIONAL GASOLINE/ANTI-DUMPING. Subject to averaging in accordance with 40 C.F.R. Part 80, Subpart E, all gasoline produced at the Refinery shall be in compliance with the anti-dumping provisions, including conventional gasoline standards and blendstock controls, of the Clean Air Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including 40 C.F.R. Part 80, Subpart E (the "ANTI-DUMPING REQUIREMENTS"), and the Refinery is capable of producing gasoline which complies with the Anti-Dumping Requirements, without any limitation on existing gasoline production capacity, utilizing the Refinery's existing configuration and existing Feedstock quality. (v) MATERIAL STATEMENTS. No information provided by Sellers shall have contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. There shall have been no material adverse fact known to Sellers and unknown to Buyer relating to the Assets or the Businesses which has not been disclosed to Buyer. (w) PERMITS AND LICENSES.

(z) BENEFIT PLANS. Each employee benefit plan maintained by Sellers which is intended to meet the requirements for tax-favored treatment under the Code or which is intended to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, shall have been administered in accordance with such requirements and shall have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto; and nothing shall have occurred which would cause the loss of any such tax-favored treatment or qualification. Each such plan shall have been amended prior to the end of the Code's remedial amendment period to incorporate all provisions required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation. (aa) UTILITIES. Buyer shall have access and the right to use all gas, electricity and other utilities necessary or historically used for the operation of the Assets and the Businesses as they are currently being operated and as they have been operated on a historical basis. 6.03 CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATIONS OF BOTH PARTIES.

As set forth in Section 2.02 of the Purchase Agreement the consideration to be paid by Giant Arizona under the Purchase Agreement, included an "Earnout," if and when earned, as more specifically described in Schedule 1.01.1 to the Purchase Agreement (the "EARNOUT"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Earnout. Guarantor owns all of the outstanding shares of stock of Giant Arizona, and Guarantor, and the other direct and indirect subsidiaries of Guarantor are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation. It is a condition to the consummation of the transactions provided for in the Purchase Agreement that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Agreement. AGREEMENT In consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, and in order to induce Sellers to proceed with the consummation of the transactions provided for in the Purchase Agreement, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: 1. RATIFICATION. Guarantor hereby ratifies and agrees to be bound by the provisions contained in Subsection 3.01(c) and Section 3.02 of the Earnout. 2. GUARANTEE. Guarantor hereby guarantees the duties and obligations of Giant Arizona under the Earnout (the "Obligations") as follows: (a) If and whenever Giant Arizona fails for any reason whatsoever punctually to pay or perform any of the Obligations, Guarantor shall cause each and every such Obligation to be paid or performed on demand as if Guarantor instead of Giant Arizona were expressed to be the primary obligor of such Obligations to the intent that BRC shall receive the same amounts and benefits as would have been receivable had such payments or performances had been made by Giant Arizona. (b) If any payment received by BRC shall, on the subsequent bankruptcy, insolvency, corporate reorganization or other similar event applying to Giant Arizona, be avoided or set aside under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, corporate reorganization or other such similar event, such payments shall not be considered as discharging or diminishing the liability of Guarantor, and the guarantee contained herein shall continue to apply as if such payment had at all times remained owing by Giant Arizona and Guarantor shall indemnify BRC with respect thereto. (c) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under the guarantee contained herein shall be unconditional and irrevocable and that Guarantor shall be fully liable irrespective of the validity, regularity, legality or enforceability against Giant Arizona of, or of any defense or counterclaim whatsoever available to Giant Arizona in relation to, the Obligations, whether or not any action has been taken to enforce the same or any judgment obtained against Giant Arizona, whether or not any time or indulgence has been granted to Giant Arizona by or on behalf of BRC, whether or not there have been any dealings or transactions between Giant Arizona and BRC, whether or not BRC has changed its status, functions, control or ownership, whether or not the Earnout has been amended, changed or otherwise modified, and whether or not any other circumstances have occurred which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense of a guarantor. Accordingly, the validity of the guarantee contained herein shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, irregularity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any of the Obligations and this guarantee shall not be discharged nor shall the liability of Guarantor under the guarantee contained herein be affected by any act, thing or omission or means whatever whereby its liability would not have been discharged if it had been the principal obligor. (d) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no action or inaction by or on behalf of Giant Arizona, Guarantor or BRC or any other person and no change of law or circumstances shall affect, release or diminish Guarantor's obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder. Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that BRC may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of Guarantor (i) amend, change or modify, in whole or in part, the Earnout, (ii) give or refuse to give any waivers or other indulgences, or neglect, delay, fail or refuse to take or prosecute any action in connection with the Earnout, (iii) change, rearrange, extend or renew the time, terms, or manner for payment or performance of any of Giant Arizona's obligations or duties, and (iv) compromise or settle any duties or obligations under the Earnout. Furthermore, the guarantee contained herein is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to and cover the Earnout and all renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, supplements or restatements thereof. (e) BRC may invoke the benefits of the guarantee contained herein before pursuing any remedies against Giant Arizona or any other person. BRC may maintain an action against Guarantor on the guarantee contained herein without joining Giant Arizona therein and without bringing a separate action against Giant Arizona. (f) Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing or claims with a court in the event of dissolution, liquidation, merger or bankruptcy of Giant Arizona, any right to require a proceeding first against Giant Arizona, protest or notice with respect to the Obligations and all demands whatsoever and hereby covenants that the guarantee contained herein shall be a continuing guarantee which will not be discharged except by complete payment and performance of the Obligations. (g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Guarantor shall have the same rights as Giant Arizona has to assert any defense or claim under the Purchase Agreement as a defense to this guarantee. 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to BRC as follows: (a) ORGANIZATION. Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and Guarantor is duly qualified to carry on its business in the State of New Mexico. (b) POWER AND AUTHORITY.

(c) DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Guarantor. (d) BINDING OBLIGATIONS.

This Agreement may not be altered or amended, nor any rights hereunder be waived, except by an instrument in writing executed by the party or parties to be charged with such amendment or waiver. A waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement in any one or more instances, shall not be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.

GARY-WILLIAMS ENERGY CORPORATION (GWEC) BY_____________________________________ GIANT REFINING COMPANY (GIANT) BY_____________________________________ SCHEDULE 1.01.1 EARNOUT This Schedule 1.01.1 is part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") among Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware corporation ("BRC"), Gary-Williams Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GWEC") (collectively, "SELLERS"), and Giant Industries Arizona, Inc. ("BUYER") and provides for the payment by Buyer of an Earnout, as defined in the Purchase Agreement for the Refinery. ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS As used in this Schedule, the following terms shall have the following meanings. "AFFILIATE" when used with respect to any person, shall mean any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person. "CINIZA REFINERY" shall mean that refinery owned by Buyer located near Gallup, New Mexico. "DEEMED DAILY REFINERY CAPACITY" shall mean 14,700 barrels per day for calendar years 1997 and 2001, and 16,000 barrels per day for all other periods. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 regarding Force Majeure, the Deemed Daily Refinery Capacity shall be used to determine the Earnout Payment as provided below regardless of the actual level of production from or capacity of the Refinery or the Ciniza Refinery. "EFFECTIVE TIME" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Purchase Agreement. "FORCE MAJEURE" shall mean any cause or causes beyond the control of Buyer that materially prevents Buyer from operating either the Refinery or the Ciniza Refinery in the same manner that it had been operating the refineries prior to the occurrence of such cause, including but not limited to the following: acts of God; fire; storm; flood; earthquake; wash outs; explosions; accidents; acts of public enemy; rebellion; strikes; lock-outs; disputes or differences with workmen; labor shortages; industry disturbances; failure of power or utilities; interruption, disruption or breakdown of supply, production, manufacture, storage, transportation, sales, distribution, or delivery; breakage or accident to machinery, equipment or pipelines; and restrictions or restraints imposed by law or by rule, regulation or order of governmental authorities, whether federal, state or local (but not including any increased costs of compliance with existing or future laws, rules, regulations or orders); provided, however, that neither lack of money, changes in market conditions nor reduced availability of raw materials due to natural decline or increased costs of raw materials shall constitute Force Majeure. "GIANT" shall mean Giant Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation. "REFINERY MARGIN" shall mean the refinery-sourced revenues (including all business interruption insurance proceeds attributable to the Refinery or the Ciniza Refinery that Buyer accrues) less the associated cost of revenues, stated on a per barrel basis for the refinery-sourced sales barrels. The Refinery Margin will be the weighted average for both the Ciniza Refinery and the Refinery. The Refinery Margin calculation shall be based on generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently with Buyer's historical practices used in calculating the "Refinery Margin" that Buyer currently reports in its public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Refinery Margin shall be calculated based on refinery-sourced sales barrels. Refinery-sourced sales barrels shall include refinery direct sales, Affiliate sales, exchange sales, and any other disposition for value, but not outside purchases of finished products (i.e., the number of barrels of such outside products shall not be included in the number of barrels of refinery-sourced sales barrels in determining the per barrel Refinery Margin). Refinery-sourced revenues shall consist of the revenues from sales of the various finished petroleum products manufactured by the applicable refinery and sold, all of which shall be reflected in Buyer's billing system including sales to Affiliates. Revenues shall be adjusted for rebates and credits. Finished product freight and superfund tax and other taxes collected by Buyer (but not taxes levied on the Buyer, e.g. income taxes, etc.) shall be reductions to revenues. Differential income on product exchanges shall also be included in revenues. Cost of revenues shall consist of the purchase of raw materials to be manufactured at the refineries (excluding chemicals, operating expenses and catalysts). Raw material cost includes all freight to move the raw materials to the refineries and gains or losses resulting from hedging contracts associated with raw materials. Outside purchases of finished product (net of revenues) shall be included in cost of revenues. Gains or losses from raw materials exchanges shall be included in cost of revenues (including as gains all payments to Buyer by GWEC under that Crude Oil Contract to be executed by GWEC and Buyer pursuant to Section 7.03(k) of the Purchase Agreement. Inventory changes shall also be reflected in the cost of revenues and shall be stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the last-in, first-out method of accounting. Finished products shall be valued in inventory based on a relative sales value method. Gains and losses resulting from speculative contracts associated with raw materials or finished products shall not be included in cost of revenues. Produced fuel consumed in refinery operations shall be included in refinery-sourced revenues and in the cost of revenues so as to have no effect on the Refinery Margin. Affiliates of Buyer may supply raw materials, purchase finished products from Buyer, and provide associated transportation services. Transactions with Affiliates shall continue to be priced competitively with similar bona fide arms' length transactions and in a manner consistent with Buyer's historical practices. The transportation cost for crude oil shipped through the Pipeline shall be the tariff charge, as in effect from time to time, provided that Buyer may seek increases in the tariff charge only to reflect increased Pipeline operating or capital costs determined in a manner consistent with the manner in which the tariff has historically been set for the Pipeline. If the Ciniza Refinery ceases to be owned by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, the Refinery Margin shall be calculated by reference to the Refinery only and not the Ciniza Refinery. "PERMITTED LIEN" shall mean the following: (i) liens for taxes or assessments not yet delinquent or, if delinquent, that are being contested in good faith in the ordinary course of business and which have been reserved against if required by generally accepting accounting practices consistently applied; (ii) materialman's, mechanic's, repairman's, employee's, contractor's, operator's and other similar liens or charges arising in the ordinary course of business securing amounts not yet due and payable and which have been reserved against if required by generally accepting accounting practices consistently applied; (iii) liens, burdens and encumbrances burdening the Refinery or the Pipeline at the time the same are conveyed to Buyer; and (iv) easements, rights-of-way, and servitudes that do not interfere materially with the operation of the affected asset. "PIPELINE" shall mean the raw materials pipeline located in San Juan County, New Mexico delivering crude oil to the Refinery. "REFINERY" shall mean the refinery commonly known as the Bloomfield Refinery located near Bloomfield, New Mexico. ARTICLE II EARNOUT 2.01 EARNOUT PAYMENTS. On or before 90 days after the end of each calendar year commencing with 1995, Buyer shall pay to BRC by wire transfer at such account as BRC may specify, an amount (the "EARNOUT PAYMENT") determined as follows: (a) If the Refinery Margin is $4.25 or less for the applicable period, no Earnout Payment shall be due. (b) If the Refinery Margin is greater than $4.25 but less than or equal to $6.25 for the applicable period, the Earnout Payment shall equal (i) 60% of the amount by which the Refinery Margin exceeds $4.25, MULTIPLIED BY (ii) the sum of the Deemed Daily Refinery Capacity for each day of the applicable period. (c) If the Refinery Margin exceeds $6.25 for the applicable period, the Earnout Payment shall equal (i) (A) $1.20, plus (B) 80% of the amount by which the Refinery Margin exceeds $6.25, MULTIPLIED BY (ii) the sum of the Deemed Daily Refinery Capacity for each day of the applicable period. (d) The "applicable period" shall be (i) the period from the Effective Time through December 31, 1995, (ii) each calendar year thereafter, and (iii) if the Buyer's obligation to make Earnout Payments terminates pursuant to Section 2.02(b) other than on January 1 of a calendar year, the period from January 1 through the day such obligation terminates. (e) The Earnout Payment shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of this Schedule 1.01.1 using generally accepted accounting principles as applied to the refineries' operations, consistently applied from period to period. (f) A sample calculation of the Earnout Payment is set forth on Exhibit 2.01(f) hereto. (g) If all or substantially all of the Refinery is destroyed by fire or other casualty or taken by condemnation, and the Buyer decides to not replace or rebuild the Refinery, Buyer shall pay to BRC an amount equal to BRC's Share of any insurance proceeds, damage awards and condemnation awards received by Buyer relating to such occurrence or taking. "BRC's Share" shall be a fraction whose numerator shall be 25 multiplied by 1.5 multiplied by the number of Remaining Days and whose denominator shall be (i) 80 multiplied by (ii) the number of days from the Effective Time through December 31, 2001 plus the aggregate number of Force Majeure Days that occurred between the Effective Time and the casualty event or taking; provided that BRC's Share shall not exceed 25/80ths. The "Remaining Days" shall be the number of days from the casualty or taking through December 31, 2001 plus the aggregate number of Force Majeure Days that occurred between the Effective Time and the casualty event or taking. Such payment to BRC shall be treated as an Earnout Payment. Upon receipt of such payment, the obligation of the Buyer to make Earnout Payments shall terminate. (h) BRC shall have the right to assign its rights under this Schedule 1.01.1 to any of its or GWEC's Affiliates, subject to the Buyer's right of setoff. 2.02 TERMINATION. (a) Buyer's obligation to make the Earnout Payments shall terminate when BRC has received Earnout Payments with an aggregate net present value (as of the Effective Time) of $25,000,000.00 using a discount rate of 9.75% per annum. Each Earnout Payment shall be discounted from the date it is actually received by BRC to the Effective Time. Buyer will have the right to prepay Earnout Payments using a net present value discount rate of 9.75% per annum. (b) The Earnout Payment shall accrue and be payable with respect to the period commencing at the Effective Time and continuing through and including December 31, 2001 plus a period equal to the aggregate number of Force Majeure Days as described in Section 5.01. (c) A sample calculation of the net present value of an assumed hypothetical series of Earnout Payments, and the application of the extension for Force Majeure Days as described in Section 5.01 is set forth in Exhibit 2.012(f). ARTICLE III COVENANTS 3.01 COVENANTS OF BUYER. At all times from the date hereof until the termination of Buyer's obligation to make Earnout Payments, Buyer shall: (a) Conduct its operations in good faith so as not to subvert the intent of the parties herein. (b) Not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate the Pipeline or the Refinery or create or allow to remain thereon any lien, charge or encumbrance of any character, except Permitted Liens. (c) Not assign, sell, convey or otherwise transfer the Refinery (and Giant will not and will not permit its Affiliates, to sell, exchange, or transfer by merger or otherwise a controlling interest in the voting stock of the Affiliate of Giant owning the Refinery) other than to an Affiliate of Giant, unless in either case BRC expressly consents thereto in writing, the transferee expressly agrees to assume and perform all of Buyer's obligations under this instrument and such sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or assignment is made and accepted expressly subject and subordinate to this instrument. Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Schedule 1.01.1 notwithstanding any such sale, transfer or assignment. (d) Not subcontract or otherwise allow any third party to operate the Refinery, until and unless the successor operator has been approved in writing by BRC, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, or unless Buyer remains ultimately responsible for the operation of the Refinery. (e) Permit authorized representatives of BRC, at a reasonable time based on reasonable notice, but at BRC's risk and expense, to inspect the Refinery. 3.02 INCORPORATION OF INDENTURE COVENANTS-NO CHANGE OF CONTROL. Giant and Buyer hereby incorporate by reference their covenants set forth in Articles Four and Five of that Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit 3.02 and hereby make such covenants to BRC. 3.03 REMEDIES. Until the time the Buyer has fully discharged its obligation to make Earnout Payments, if Buyer shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any of its obligations or covenants, BRC may recover damages and seek other remedies available to BRC at law or in equity. ARTICLE IV REPORTING 4.01 REPORTS. Buyer shall deliver to Seller the following statements and reports: (a) Quarterly, within 45 days after the end of each quarter for which such report is given and to the extent such information is available, a report reflecting the calculation of Refinery Margin for the quarter and year-to-date. (b) With each Earnout Payment, of if no Earnout Payment is due, a statement, prepared and certified by Buyer's Chief Financial Officer, together with the supporting detail, reflecting the calculation of Refinery Margin and the Earnout Payment for the applicable period. 4.02 AUDITS. (a) BRC, or it designated independent auditing firm, shall have the right to review and audit the books and records of Buyer respecting the calculation of Refinery Margin. Buyer shall provide BRC with any information required to determined Refinery Margin. Except as provided in Section 4.03(e), BRC shall bear the costs of any audit conducted by it. BRC shall maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information relating to Buyer or the refineries. (b) Each Earnout Payment shall be final unless BRC gives written objection following completion of its audit, as described in Section 4.02(a), within one year after the Earnout Payment. (c) All late payments of Earnout Payments and all amounts found to be due to BRC shall bear interest at the lesser of 15 percent per annum and the maximum legal rate. If BRC objects, the Earnout Payment shall not be final until it is resolved by agreement of the parties or arbitration pursuant to Section 4.03. If Buyer pays the interest due on a late Earnout Payment or other amounts found to be due, the net present value of such Earnout Payment for purposes of Section 2.02(a) shall be determined by discounting such Earnout Payment from the date on which it was due and payable, notwithstanding that it was later paid. 4.03 ARBITRATION. (a) The parties agree to submit all controversies, claims and matters of difference relating to the determination of Earnout Payments to arbitration. (b) The party desiring arbitration shall so notify the other party, identifying in reasonable detail the matters to be arbitrated and the relief sought. Arbitration hereunder shall be by a partner or member in a neutral national certified public accounting firm not affiliated with either party. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") shall submit a list of persons meeting the criteria outlined above and the parties shall mutually agree upon the arbitrator. In the event that the parties fail to select an arbitrator as required above, the AAA shall select the arbitrator. (c) All matters arbitrated hereunder shall be arbitrated in Albuquerque, New Mexico and shall be governed by New Mexico law. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except to the extent such Rules conflict with the express provisions of this Section 4.03 (which shall prevail in the event of such conflict). The arbitrator shall conduct a hearing no later than 60 days after submission of the matter to arbitration, and a decision shall be rendered by the arbitrator within 30 days of the hearing. (d) This submission and agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable. (e) If the arbitration award reflects an underpayment of the disputed Earnout Payment by an amount greater than five percent of the correct amount, Buyer shall pay the AAA's fees, the arbitrator's fees, and BRC's audit costs and attorneys' and experts' fees, provided those fees are reasonable. BRC shall pay the AAA's fees, the arbitrator's fees, and the Buyer's attorneys' and experts' fees (provided those fees are reasonable), if the arbitration award reflects that the disputed Earnout Payment was equal to or greater than the correct amount. BRC shall pay the AAA's fees and the arbitrator's fees, and each Party shall pay its own attorneys' and experts' fees, if the arbitration award reflects an underpayment of the disputed Earnout Payment by an amount up to five percent of the correct amount. ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS 5.01 FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that Buyer is rendered unable by reason of an event of Force Majeure to operate the Refinery and the Ciniza Refinery at a combined production level of at least 32,000 barrels of refined products per day, Buyer shall give BRC written notice and full particulars of any event of Force Majeure within 10 days thereafter. Each such day so specified in a timely notice from Buyer shall be called a "FORCE MAJEURE DAY" provided that no such day for which Buyer receives business interruption insurance (without regard to the amount of such coverage) shall be a Force Majeure Day. Except as provided in Section 2.01(g), Buyer shall remedy Force Majeure conditions as soon as reasonably possible, including repairing or rebuilding the Refinery and the Ciniza Refinery. 5.02 TREATMENT FOR TAX PURPOSES. BRC and Buyer shall treat and report the Earnout Payments under the installment method of accounting for taxation purposes within the meaning of section 453 of the Internal Revenue Code and as "non-quotable contingent payout" within proposed Treas. Reg. S.S. 1.1275-4(c)(4). 5.03 NOTICES.

If the explosion was not covered by business interruption insurance, then the Earnout Payment period is extended through February 14, 2002. In the first example, the Force Majeure Days are 15 days since that is the period not covered by business interruption insurance. In the second example, the Force Majeure Days are 45 days since the incident was not covered by business interruption insurance. In either case, the complete cessation of production at the Refinery would reduce the combined production level of both refineries to less than 32,000 barrels of refined products per day. Prior to the Closing, the parties shall jointly expand Exhibit 2.01(f) to explain in reasonable detail the computation of Refinery Margin for the Refinery and the Ciniza Refinery using the accounting information for calendar year 1994.

Buyer shall have until August 31, 1995, to determine the location of the Excepted Easements on the Refinery Site. Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing on or before such date if Buyer believes that the location of the Excepted Easements would interfere materially with the operation or use of the Refinery as it is now operated or used and as it has been operated or used on a historical basis, or result in a Material Effect.

SCHEDULE 3.01(L) WATER AND WATER RIGHTS BRC uses approximately 417 acre feet of water per year in its refining operations. Of such amount, 340 acre feet per year have been purchased from the Bureau of Reclamation (the "BUREAU") out of the Navajo Reservoir and 77.838 acre feet are owned by BRC. A. PURCHASED RIGHTS. Prior to 1990, BRC regularly obtained one year water service contacts from the Bureau. Since 1990, however, the Bureau has been required by the Endangered Species Act to consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service ("FWS") prior to entering into each new water service contract with BRC (and other water users). As a result, BRC has had only one water contract since April of 1990. The term of the last water contract ran from October 21, 1992 through October 20, 1993. The Bureau and the FWS have been conducting an informal consultation for close to a year in connection with BRC's proposed water contract. In late 1994, the FWS notified the Bureau that FWS would require formal consultation because of the likely effect of BRC's water contract on the critical habitat of the Colorado squawfish and the razorback sucker, which have been listed by the EPA as endangered. The Bureau has prepared a biological assessment of the effects of the proposed contract on the endangered species, and has concluded that there will be no adverse effects on the various species or their designated critical habitat. The biological assessment prepared by the Bureau reviewed and analyzed all relevant data from water quality testing which was done in the area surrounding the Refinery, and found no indications of pollutants emanating from the Refinery. This biological assessment has been sent to the FWS for its use in preparing its official biological opinion. FWS has a statutory time period of 90 days (which may be extended for an additional 60 days) within which to complete the formal consultation. FWS must deliver its biological opinion within 45 days after formal consultation has been completed. Although not assured, it is likely that the final biological opinion of the FWS will be similar to the biological opinion prepared by FWS for the 1992 water service contract, and will result in a "no jeopardy" finding. A "no jeopardy" finding would permit the Bureau to enter into a water service contract with BRC. B. OWNED RIGHTS.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bloomfield Refining Company as of December 31, 1991 and 1990, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES -------------------------------------------- CASH AND TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS - ------------------------------ For purposes of these statements, the Company considers investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or temporary investments. INVENTORIES - ----------- Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Inventories at December 31, 1991 and 1990 are as follows: 1991 1990 ---------- ---------- Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $5,412,447 $6,861,818 Crude oil 1,411,844 1,765,125 Materials and supplies 1,074,884 982,669 ---------- ---------- $7,899,175 $9,609,612 ========== ========== PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - ----------------------------- The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 35 years. Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 12 years. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - ----------------------------------- The Company reimburses GWEC and an affiliate for general and administrative services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and refined products and gas plant operations. ACCRUED TURNAROUND COSTS - ------------------------ Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the work to be performed in future periods to renew the related refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either current or non- current liabilities based upon the current scheduling of major expenditures. (3) LONG-TERM DEBT -------------- Long-term debt consists of the following: Current Long-Term Total Portion Portion ---------- ---------- ---------- Note payable to a bank (a) $7,437,500 $4,250,000 $3,187,500 Note payable-affiliate (b) 706,263 200,000 506,263 ---------- ---------- ---------- December 31, 1991 $8,143,763 $4,450,000 $3,693,763 ========== ========== ========== (a) On September 4, 1991, the Company and GWEC (collectively, the Borrower) jointly entered into an amended credit agreement whereby the Company received loan proceeds of $8,500,000. The proceeds of the loan were used to acquire, from GWEC, the gas plants located in Utah and Colorado, to pay dividends to GWEC and for general corporate purposes. On December 6, 1991, the Borrower entered into a new credit agreement whereby loan proceeds of $7,791,667 were received and used to repay the outstanding balance on the $8,500,000 bank term loan and whereby a new revolving credit facility was established. Under terms of the revolving credit facility, the Borrower may borrow up to $5,000,000 in cash and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory, and exchange balances was approximately $24,000,000 and $20,000,000 as of December 31, 1991 and March 30, 1992. The Borrower had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, however, had issued letters of credit totalling approximately $21,000,000 as of December 31, 1991. The revolving credit facility and term loan bear interest at a rate based on the bank's prime rate. Alternatively, interest rates can be fixed for 30,60, or 90 day periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency rate. At December 31, 1991, the weighted average rate being paid was approximately 7.50%. The term notes call for minimum monthly principal payments of $354,167 with the final payment due in August, 1993. These loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial covenants and ratios. The revolving credit facility matures November 30, 1992; however, the credit agreement allows for the Borrower to request extensions of the maturity date. (b) The note is a 9% interest bearing non-recourse note issued in connection with the acquisition of a partial ownership interest in a gas plant. The note is secured by the ownership interest and is payable over a maximum period of 15 years, ending September 30, 2001. The monthly installments are determined by the prior month's net cash flow. The note is payable to an affiliate. (4) INCOME TAXES ------------ The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group which files a consolidated federal income tax return. On January 1, 1991, an agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then reimburses or is reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax liability or benefit. Deferred income taxes are provided as a result of recording income and expenses, principally depreciation and turnaround expenses, in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which was superseded in February 1992 by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes" which provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from existing potential future tax benefits. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 109 in calendar year 1993 and does not anticipate that such adoption will have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

The benefits are based on a percentage of the employee's final earnings, as defined, and years of credited service, up to a maximum of 30 years. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at December 31, 1991 and 1990 consist primarily of private and public debt and equity investments.

The Company has guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of the lease provide for annual rentals of $396,000 in the second year and escalating to $796,000 in years six through ten. In addition to the rent, the Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $276,000 in occupancy costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses.

BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION --------------------------- Organization - ------------ On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gary-Williams Energy Corporation (GWEC) and operates a refinery in Bloomfield, New Mexico with a throughput capacity of 17,000 barrels per day. Effective July 1, 1991, the Company purchased certain ownership interests in two gas plants located in Utah and the net assets of a gas plant located in Colorado from GWEC. Gas Plants - ---------- On August 7, 1992, the Company purchased an additional twenty-six percent (26%) undivided interest in a gas plant GWEC operates in Uintah and Duchesne Counties, Utah for cash and a promissory note, paid in full in September, 1992. Net ownership income of $455,750, including interest expense, from the effective date of the purchase, March 1, 1992, through July 31, 1992 relating to the increased ownership interest was offset against the gross purchase price of $2,550,000. On December 8, 1992, the Company increased its ownership interest in the same gas plant GWEC operates in Uintah and Duchesne Counties, Utah to forty-five percent (45%) by purchasing another ten percent (10%) undivided interest from a third party. Net ownership income of $134,508 from the effective date of the purchase, September 1, 1992, through November 30, 1992 relating to the increased ownership interest was offset against the gross purchase price of $612,168. During 1992, the Company sold all rights, title and interest in a gas plant gathering system, an extraction plant, and certain related equipment and appurtenances located in Colorado to third parties for $3,296,943, resulting in a gain on sale of gas plant assets of $1,495,553. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES -------------------------------------------- Cash and Temporary Investments - ------------------------------ For purposes of these statements, the Company considers investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or temporary investments. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Inventories at December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1991 are as follows: December 31, December 31, 1992 1991 ----------- ----------- Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $5,361,150 $5,412,447 Crude oil 1,580,418 1,411,844 Materials and supplies 920,284 1,074,884 ---------- ---------- $7,861,852 $7,899,175 ========== ========== Property, Plant and Equipment - ----------------------------- The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 35 years. Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. General and Administrative Expenses - ----------------------------------- The Company reimburses GWEC and an affiliate for general and administrative services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and refined products and gas plant operations. Accrued Turnaround Costs - ------------------------ Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the work to be performed in future periods to renew the related refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either current or non- current liabilities based upon the scheduling of major expenditures. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. (3) LONG-TERM DEBT -------------- Long-term debt consists of the following: Current Long-Term Total Portion Portion ---------- ---------- ---------- Note payable to a bank (a) $2,767,496 $2,767,496 $ --- ---------- ---------- ---------- December 31, 1992 $2,767,496 $2,767,496 $ --- ========== ========== ========== Note payable to a bank (a) $7,437,500 $4,250,000 $3,187,500 Note payable-affiliate (b) 706,263 200,000 506,263 ---------- ---------- ---------- December 31, 1991 $8,143,763 $4,450,000 $3,693,763 ========== ========== ========== (a) The Company has a revolving credit facility with a bank under which it may borrow up to $5,000,000 in cash and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory, and exchange balances was approximately $22,000,000 and $24,000,000 as of December 31, 1992 and 1991. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, however, letters of credit totalling approximately $18,000,000 and $21,000,000 had been issued as of December 31, 1992 and 1991. The revolving credit facility and term loan bear interest at a rate based on the bank's prime rate. Alternatively, interest rates can be fixed for 30, 60, or 90 day periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency rate. At December 31, 1992 and 1991, the weighted average rate being paid was approximately 6.50% and 7.50%, respectively. The term notes call for minimum monthly principal payments of $354,167 with the final payment due in August, 1993. These loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial covenants and ratios. The revolving credit facility matures August 31, 1993; however, the credit agreement provides for extensions of the maturity date. On October 15, 1992, the credit agreement was amended to allow the Company to draw up to $7,000,000 by December 31, 1993, for capital projects (see Note 9) at the Bloomfield refinery at an interest rate of 2% over prime. This loan will be amortized monthly over two years beginning the earlier of January, 1994, or the month following completion of the projects at which time the interest rate is reduced to 1.50% over prime. No amounts had been drawn on this note as of December 31, 1992 and as of March 30, 1993, $1,700,000 has been drawn. (b) The note was a 9% interest bearing non-recourse note issued in connection with the acquisition of a partial ownership interest in a gas plant. The note was secured by the ownership interest and in June, 1992, the note was paid in full. (4) INCOME TAXES ------------ The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group which files a consolidated federal income tax return. On January 1, 1991, an agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then reimburses or is reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax liability or benefit. Deferred income taxes are provided as a result of recording income and expenses, principally depreciation and turnaround expenses, in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which was superseded in February 1992 by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes" which provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from existing potential future tax benefits. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 109 in calendar year 1993 and does not anticipate that such adoption will have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

On December 1, 1992, the Company guaranteed the payment by GWEC of an aggregate maximum at any one time of $2,000,000 of present and/or future indebtedness owed to a third party crude supplier. (7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS ---------------------- The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution plan) covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service.

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan for union employees. The benefits are based on a percentage of the employee's final earnings, as defined, and years of credited service, up to a maximum of 30 years. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at December 31, 1992 and 1991 consist primarily of private and public debt and equity investments. The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and operations at December 31, 1992 and 1991: 1992 1991 --------- --------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $364,702 and $228,124 at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively $(377,359) $(248,606) ========= ========= Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date (377,359) (248,606) Plan assets at fair value 216,667 165,346 --------- --------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (160,692) (83,260) Unrecognized net obligation existing at January 1, 10,255 10,920 Prior service cost not yet recognized 14,951 15,811 Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions 176,517 78,558 Adjustment to recognize minimum liability (201,723) (105,289) --------- --------- Accrued pension liability included in other liabilities $(160,692) $ (83,260) ========= ========= Net pension cost includes the following components: Service cost $ 35,988 $ 26,500 Interest cost 18,060 14,302 Actual return on plan assets (18,597) (14,298) Net amortization and deferral of other components 6,712 4,823 --------- --------- Net periodic pension cost $ 42,163 $ 31,327 ========= ========= The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 5.75% and 6.75% for 1992 and 1991, respectively.

(8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS --------------- During the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, the Company sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period, the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from GWEC. (9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ----------------------------- The Company paid (received) a retainer fee to (from) a third party based on 5% of the net income (loss) before taxes. This fee is included in general and administrative expenses. Effective February 1, 1991, this agreement was terminated and new agreements were entered into between GWEC and affiliates of the third party providing for payment of consulting fees of $15,000 per calendar quarter from 1992 to 2001. In addition, a retainer fee of $1,000,000 was paid by GWEC and reimbursed by the Company for services to be provided in 1992 and 1993 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis. The Company is subject to various environmental and other regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the New Mexico Health and Environmental Department and the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Division. Management of the Company believes it has complied with all aspects associated with these regulations. In December, 1992 the Company entered into an administrative order with the Environmental Protection Agency to perform certain environmental work. An environmental liability reserve in the amount of $362,000 was accrued in 1992 for work to be performed in 1993 to assess the nature of any environmental cleanup requirements at the refinery. A Company affiliate entered into a ten year lease agreement for office space in November 1989. The Company has guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of the lease provide for annual rentals of $396,000 in the second year and escalating to $796,000 in years six through ten. In addition to the rent, the Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $276,000 in occupancy costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses. The total estimated costs for rentals and operating expenses for 1993 amounts to $799,000. In December, 1992, the Company engaged a contractor to engineer, fabricate and install a diesel desulfurization unit to be operational at the refinery in 1993 for a total contract price of $3,646,391 exclusive of any applicable sales and/or use taxes and subject to adjustment for any changes in the work directive.

BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION --------------------------- Organization - ------------ On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gary-Williams Energy Corporation (GWEC). The Company operates a refinery in Bloomfield, New Mexico with a throughput capacity of 17,000 barrels per day and has ownership interests in two gas plants located in Utah. Gas Plants - ---------- On August 7, 1992, the Company purchased an additional twenty-six percent (26%) undivided interest in a gas plant GWEC operates in Uintah and Duchesne Counties, Utah for cash and a promissory note, paid in full in September, 1992. Net ownership income of $455,750, including interest expense, from the effective date of the purchase, March 1, 1992, through July 31, 1992 relating to the increased ownership interest was offset against the gross purchase price of $2,550,000. On December 8, 1992, the Company increased its ownership interest in the same gas plant GWEC operates in Uintah and Duchesne Counties, Utah to approximately forty-eight percent (48%) by purchasing another ten percent (10%) undivided interest from a third party. Net ownership income of $134,508 from the effective date of the purchase, September 1, 1992, through November 30, 1992, relating to the increased ownership interest was offset against the gross purchase price of $612,168. During 1992, the Company sold all rights, title and interest in a gas plant gathering system, an extraction plant, and certain related equipment and appurtenances located in Colorado to third parties, resulting in a gain on sale of gas plant assets of $1,495,553. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Cash and Temporary Investments - ------------------------------ For purposes of these statements, the Company considers investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or temporary investments. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Inventories at December 31, 1993 and 1992, are as follows: December 31, December 31, 1993 1992 ----------- ----------- Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $3,692,757 $5,361,150 Crude oil 1,432,350 1,580,418 Materials and supplies 920,919 920,284 ---------- ---------- $6,046,026 $7,861,852 ========== ========== Property, Plant and Equipment - ----------------------------- The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 35 years, with an average life of approximately 19 years. Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years, with an average life of approximately 7 years. General and Administrative Expenses - ----------------------------------- The Company reimburses GWEC for general and administrative services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and refined products and gas plant operations. Accrued Turnaround Costs - ------------------------ Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the work to be performed in future periods to renew the related refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either current or non-current liabilities based upon the scheduling of major expenditures. Capitalized Interest - -------------------- The Company capitalizes interest on debt associated with the financing of capital construction projects. During 1993, interest of $109,480 was capitalized to property, plant and equipment. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. (3) LONG-TERM DEBT -------------- The Company has a revolving credit facility with a bank under which it may borrow up to $5,000,000 in cash and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory, and exchange balances was approximately $18,000,000 and $22,000,000 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, however, letters of credit totalling approximately $14,000,000 and $18,000,000 had been issued as of December 31, 1993 and 1992. The revolving credit facility and a related term loan facility bear interest at a rate based on the bank's prime rate. Alternatively, interest rates can be fixed for 30, 60, or 90 day periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency rate. The term notes called for minimum monthly principal payments of $354,167 with the final payment due in August, 1993; however, the Company prepaid the loan in June, 1993. At December 31, 1992, the weighted average interest rate being paid was approximately 6.5%. The credit facility and related term loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and, among other things, requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants and ratios. The revolving credit facility matures November 15, 1994; however, the credit agreement provides for extensions of the maturity date. The Company borrowed $3,000,000 for capital projects at the Bloomfield refinery pursuant to an October 15, 1992 amendment to the credit agreement. Interest is based on the bank's prime rate or alternatively, interest rates can be fixed for 30, 60 or 90 day periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency rate. At December 31, 1993, the weighted average interest rate being paid was approximately 6.2%. This loan is being amortized monthly over two years commencing December, 1993. Additional loan payments are required when operating cash flows exceed levels as defined in the credit agreement. However, the entire balance has been classified as current in the accompanying financial statements as management expectS to pay the entire balance before December 31, 1994. (4) INCOME TAXES ------------ The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group which files a consolidated federal income tax return. An agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then reimburses GWEC for its income tax liability. The Company is entitled to be reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax benefit when the Company could otherwise have utilized such benefit on a stand alone basis. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires that deferred income taxes be recognized for the differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities at each year- end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The adoption of SFAS 109 had no material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993. The net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 1993 consists of the following: Gross deferred tax assets $ (606,640) Gross deferred tax liabilities 2,065,440 ---------- 1,458,800 Valuation allowance --- ---------- Net deferred tax liability $1,458,800 ========== Deferred tax assets and liabilities result primarily from inventory costs capitalized for tax, accounting reserves and from recording depreciation and turnaround expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes. In management's opinion, it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets will be realized based on past earnings history. The difference between the Company's tax provision at the federal statutory rate and the effective rate for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 is due primarily to state income taxes. (5) OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES BY SEGMENTS -------------------------------------------- The following segment information reflects operating revenues, operating expenses and gross margins for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992. Refining Gas Plants Total ------------ ---------- ------------ December 31, 1993 ------------------------------------------ Operating Revenues $145,878,017 $2,944,122 $148,822,139 Operating Expenses 115,829,494 2,197,268 118,026,762 ------------ ---------- ------------ Gross Margin $ 30,048,523 $ 746,854 $ 30,795,377 ============ ========== ============ December 31, 1992 ------------------------------------------ Operating Revenues $140,088,307 $3,886,120 $143,974,427 Operating Expenses 122,005,814 2,567,436 124,573,250 ------------ ---------- ------------ Gross Margin $ 18,082,493 $1,318,684 $ 19,401,177 ============ ========== ============ (6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- A supply and marketing service agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC, whereas GWEC purchases crude oil and other raw materials for resale to the Company, at cost, for processing at the refinery. The intercompany purchase of raw materials includes all amounts accrued and owing by GWEC to third parties, including prepayments and offsite inventory. Also, the Company sells refined petroleum products to GWEC, at market, for resale by GWEC. On December 1, 1993 and 1992, the Company guaranteed the payment of GWEC of an aggregate maximum at any one time of $2,000,000 of present and/or future indebtedness owed to a third party crude supplier. (7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS ---------------------- The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution plan) covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Company. Contributions of $173,139 and $169,002 were accrued for the years ended December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992, respectively. The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan for union employees. The benefits are based on a percentage of the employee's final earnings, as defined, and years of credited service, up to a maximum of 30 years. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at December 31, 1993 and 1992 consist primarily of private and public debt and equity investments. The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and operations at December 31, 1993 and 1992: 1993 1992 --------- --------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $406,405 and $364,702 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively $(424,162) $(377,359) ========= ========= Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $(424,162) $(377,359) Plan assets at fair value 272,803 216,667 --------- --------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (151,359) (160,692) Unrecognized net obligation existing at January 1 9,590 10,255 Prior service cost not yet recognized 14,091 14,951 Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions 160,797 176,517 Adjustment to recognize minimum liability (184,478) (201,723) --------- --------- Accrued pension liability included in other liabilities $(151,359) $(160,692) ========= ========= Net pension cost includes the following components: Service cost $ 49,580 $ 35,988 Interest cost 23,202 18,060 Actual return on plan assets (31,641) (18,597) Net amortization and deferral of other components 20,237 6,712 --------- --------- Net periodic pension cost $ 61,378 $ 42,163 ========= ========= The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 6.00% and 5.75% for 1993 and 1992, respectively. The average rate of increase in future compensation levels was 0% and the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets was 8.0% and 9.0% in 1993 and 1992, respectively. (8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS ----------------------------- During the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period, the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from GWEC. (9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ----------------------------- The Company is subject to certain environmental and other regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and various state agencies. Management of the Company believes it has complied with all material aspects associated with these regulations. In December, 1992, the Company entered into an administrative order with the Environmental Protection Agency to perform certain environmental work. An environmental liability reserve in the amount of $362,000 was accrued in 1992 for work to be performed in 1993 and 1994 to assess the nature of any environmental cleanup requirements at the refinery. As of December 31, 1993, the cash outlay recorded against the reserve was $87,759. The Company is subject to various claims and business disputes in the ordinary course of business. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate outcome of these issues will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. An affiliate of the Company entered into a ten year lease agreement for office space in November 1989. The Company has guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of the lease provide for annual rentals of $490,000 in the fourth year (1993) and escalating to $796,000 in years six through ten. In addition to the rent, the Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $276,000 in occupancy costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses. The total estimated costs for rentals and operating expenses for 1994 amounts to $871,000. Currently, the affiliate of the Company is subleasing certain office space to a third party and a related party.

BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION --------------------------- Organization - ------------ On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gary-Williams Energy Corporation (GWEC). The Company operates a refinery in Bloomfield, New Mexico with a throughput capacity of 17,000 barrels per day and has ownership interests in two gas plants located in Utah. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Cash and Temporary Investments - ------------------------------ For purposes of these statements, the Company considers investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or temporary investments. Temporary investments consist primarily of certificates of deposit and commercial paper. These securities are classified as held to maturity investments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, these securities are recorded at a market value of $7,663,000 and $8,520,000, respectively. Realized gains and losses from sales of these securities are included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The net unrealized gain or loss on these securities was not material as of December 31, 1994 and 1993. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows: December 31, December 31, 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $4,181,728 $3,692,757 Crude oil 2,811,004 1,432,350 Materials and supplies 895,094 920,919 ---------- ---------- $7,887,826 $6,046,026 ========== ========== Property, Plant and Equipment - ----------------------------- The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 35 years, with an average initial life of approximately 19 years. Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years, with an average initial life of approximately 7 years. General and Administrative Expenses - ----------------------------------- The Company reimburses GWEC for general and administrative services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and refined products and gas plant operations. Accrued Turnaround Costs - ------------------------ Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the work to be performed in future periods to renew the related refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either current or non-current liabilities based upon the scheduling of major expenditures. Capitalized Interest - -------------------- The Company capitalizes interest on debt associated with the financing of capital construction projects. During 1993 interest of $109,480 was capitalized to property, plant and equipment. No such interest was capitalized during 1994. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. (3) LONG-TERM DEBT -------------- The Company has a revolving credit facility, as amended, with a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $8,000,000 in cash and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory, exchange balances and unused outstanding letters of credit was approximately $21,000,000 and $18,000,000 as of December 31, 1994 and 1993. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, however, letters of credit totaling approximately $20,000,000 and $14,000,000 had been issued as of December 31, 1994 and 1993. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate based on the bank's prime rate. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and, among other things, requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants and ratios. The revolving credit facility matures June 1, 1996; however, the credit agreement provides for extensions of the maturity date. The Company borrowed $3,000,000 in 1993 for capital projects at the Bloomfield refinery pursuant to an amendment to the credit agreement. Interest was based on the bank's prime rate or alternatively, interest rates could be fixed for 30, 60 or 90 day periods on portions of the term loan at a floating Eurocurrency rate. At December 31, 1993, the weighted average interest rate being paid was approximately 6.2%. The entire balance was paid during 1994. (4) INCOME TAXES ------------ The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group which files a consolidated federal income tax return. An agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then reimburses GWEC for its current income tax liability on a quarterly basis. Deferred income taxes are paid to GWEC periodically. The Company is entitled to be reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax benefit when the Company could otherwise have utilized such benefit on a stand alone basis. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires that deferred income taxes be recognized for the differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities at each year- end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The adoption of SFAS 109 had no material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993. The net deferred tax liability consists of the following: December 31, December 31, 1994 1993 ------------ ------------ Gross deferred tax assets $(1,090,700) $ (606,640) Gross deferred tax liabilities 2,798,300 2,065,440 ----------- ----------- 1,707,600 1,458,800 Payments to affiliate (523,100) --- Valuation allowance --- --- ----------- ----------- Net deferred tax liability $ 1,184,500 $ 1,458,800 =========== =========== Deferred tax assets and liabilities result primarily from inventory costs capitalized for tax, accounting reserves and from recording depreciation and turnaround expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes. In management's opinion, it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets will be realized based on past earnings history. The difference between the Company's tax provision at the federal statutory rate and the effective rate for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 is due primarily to state income taxes. Tax Deficiency - -------------- The Internal Revenue Service concluded a field audit of the consolidated tax group's income tax return for the fiscal year 1990 resulting in a "Notice of Deficiency" for that fiscal year. Proposed adjustments to income and tax credits resulted in a proposed tax deficiency of approximately $4,800,000 plus penalties. The Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court contesting the notice and believes that it has meritorious legal defenses to the proposed tax deficiency, but the ultimate outcome of the Tax Court case is uncertain. (5) OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES BY SEGMENTS -------------------------------------------- The following segment information reflects operating revenues, operating expenses and gross margins for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. Refining Gas Plants Total ------------ ---------- ------------ December 31, 1994 ------------------------------------------ Operating Revenues $139,073,511 $2,628,079 $141,701,590 Operating Expenses 112,824,818 2,174,662 114,999,480 ------------ ---------- ------------ Gross Margin $ 26,248,693 $ 453,417 $ 26,702,110 ============ ========== ============ December 31, 1993 ------------------------------------------ Operating Revenues $145,878,017 $2,944,122 $148,822,139 Operating Expenses 115,829,494 2,197,268 118,026,762 ------------ ---------- ------------ Gross Margin $ 30,048,523 $ 746,854 $ 30,795,377 ============ ========== ============ (6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- A supply and marketing service agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC, whereby GWEC purchases crude oil and other raw materials for resale to the Company, at cost, for processing at the refinery. The intercompany purchase of raw materials include all amounts accrued and owing by GWEC to third parties, including prepayments and offsite inventory. Also, the Company sells refined petroleum products to GWEC, at market, for resale by GWEC. The Company has guaranteed the payment by GWEC of an aggregate maximum at any one time of $2,000,000 of present and/or future indebtedness owed to a third party crude oil supplier. (7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS ---------------------- The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution plan) covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Company. Contributions of $187,357 and $173,139 were accrued for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan for union employees. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consist primarily of private and public debt and equity investments. In prior years, benefits were based on a percentage of the employee's earnings, as defined, as of June 1, 1990, and years of credited service up to a maximum of 30 years. In 1994, the plan was amended to base benefits on a percentage of the employee's earnings as of June 1, 1993. The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and operations at December 31, 1994 and 1993, for the defined benefit pension plan: 1994 1993 --------- --------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $417,559 and $406,405 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively $(433,264) $(424,162) ========= ========= Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $(433,264) $(424,162) Plan assets at fair value 302,952 272,803 --------- --------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (130,312) (151,359) Unrecognized net obligation existing at January 1, 1989 being recognized over 19 years 8,926 9,590 Prior service cost not yet recognized 77,483 14,091 Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions 70,391 160,797 Adjustment to recognize minimum liability (156,800) (184,478) --------- --------- Accrued pension liability included in other liabilities $(130,312) $(151,359) ========= ========= Net pension cost includes the following components: Service cost $ 55,079 $ 49,580 Interest cost 29,266 23,202 Actual return on plan assets 6,557 (31,641) Net amortization and deferral of other components (19,922) 20,237 --------- --------- Net periodic pension cost $ 70,980 $ 61,378 ========= ========= The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 7.0% for 1994 and 6.0% for 1993. The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets was 8.0% in 1994 and 1993. (8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS --------------- During the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period, the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from GWEC. (9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ----------------------------- The Company is subject to certain environmental and other regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) and various state agencies. Management of the Company believes it has complied with all material aspects associated with these regulations. The Company entered into an administrative order with the E.P.A. to perform a study to assess the nature of any environmental cleanup requirements at the refinery which was substantially completed in 1994. Management is currently evaluating the E.P.A.'s response and is uncertain as to what, if any, additional costs may be required. The Company is subject to various claims and business disputes in the ordinary course of business. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate outcome of these issues will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. An affiliate of the Company entered into a ten year lease agreement for office space in November 1989. The Company has guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of the lease provided for annual rent of $553,000 in 1994 and escalating to $796,000 in years six through ten. In addition to the rent, the Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $318,000 in occupancy costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses. Currently, the affiliate of the Company is subleasing certain office space to a third party and a related party.

BLOOMFIELD REFINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION --------------------------- Organization - ------------ On August 31, 1984, Bloomfield Refining Company, a Delaware corporation (the Company), was incorporated. The Company's primary activities are the refining of petroleum products and gas plant operations. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gary-Williams Energy Corporation (GWEC). The Company operates a refinery in Bloomfield, New Mexico with a throughput capacity of 17,000 barrels per day and has ownership interests in two gas plants located in Utah. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Cash and Temporary Investments - ------------------------------ For purposes of these statements, the Company considers investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash or temporary investments. Temporary investments consist primarily of commercial paper and money market funds. These securities are classified as held to maturity investments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. At March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, these securities are recorded at a market value of $2,082,000 and $7,663,000, respectively. Realized gains and losses from sales of these securities are included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The net unrealized gain or loss on these securities was not material as of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Inventories at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are as follows: March 31, December 31, 1995 1994 ----------- ----------- Refined, unrefined and intermediate products $5,276,421 $4,181,728 Crude oil 2,985,248 2,811,004 Materials and supplies 881,653 895,094 ---------- ---------- $9,143,322 $7,887,826 ========== ========== Property, Plant and Equipment - ----------------------------- The initial purchase and additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 35 years, with an average initial life of approximately 19 years. Ownership interests in gas plants are recorded at cost and proportionately consolidated for financial statement purposes. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years, with an average initial life of approximately 7 years. General and Administrative Expenses - ----------------------------------- The Company reimburses GWEC for general and administrative services relating to the supply and marketing of raw materials and refined products and gas plant operations. Accrued Turnaround Costs - ------------------------ Major repair and maintenance expenses (turnaround costs) are accrued and charged to current operations in anticipation of the work to be performed in future periods to renew the related refinery assets. Accrued turnaround costs are classified as either current or non-current liabilities based upon the scheduling of major expenditures. Capitalized Interest - -------------------- The Company capitalizes interest on debt associated with the financing of capital construction projects. No interest was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 1995 or during 1994. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. (3) LONG-TERM DEBT -------------- The Company has a revolving credit facility, as amended, with a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $8,000,000 in cash and/or issue letters of credit which in the aggregate cannot exceed the lesser of $35,000,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base, which consists principally of accounts receivable, inventory, exchange balances and unused outstanding letters of credit was approximately $29,000,000 and $21,000,000 as of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, however, letters of credit totaling approximately $23,000,000 and $20,000,000 had been issued as of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate based on the bank's prime rate. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and, among other things, requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants and ratios. The revolving credit facility matures June 1, 1996; however, the credit agreement provides for extensions of the maturity date. The Company borrowed $3,000,000 in 1993 for capital projects at the Bloomfield refinery pursuant to an amendment to the credit agreement. The entire balance was paid during 1994. (4) INCOME TAXES ------------ The Company and GWEC are members of a consolidated tax group which files a consolidated federal income tax return. An agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC whereby the Company determines, on a stand alone basis, the tax liability or benefit as if it were not a member of the tax group. The Company then reimburses GWEC for its current income tax liability on a quarterly basis. Deferred income taxes are paid to GWEC periodically. The Company is entitled to be reimbursed by GWEC for its income tax benefit when the Company could otherwise have utilized such benefit on a stand alone basis. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The net deferred tax liability consists of the following: March 31, December 31, 1995 1994 ------------ ------------ Gross deferred tax assets $(1,212,600) $(1,090,700) Gross deferred tax liabilities 2,929,700 2,798,300 ----------- ----------- 1,717,100 1,707,600 Payments to affiliate (1,707,600) (523,100) Valuation allowance --- --- ----------- ----------- Net deferred tax liability $ 9,500 $ 1,184,500 =========== =========== Deferred tax assets and liabilities result primarily from inventory costs capitalized for tax, accounting reserves and from recording depreciation and turnaround expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes. In management's opinion, it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets will be realized based on past earnings history. The difference between the Company's tax provision at the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is due primarily to state income taxes. Tax Deficiency - -------------- The Internal Revenue Service concluded a field audit of the consolidated tax group's income tax return for the fiscal year 1990 resulting in a "Notice of Deficiency" for that fiscal year. Proposed adjustments to income and tax credits resulted in a proposed tax deficiency of approximately $4,800,000 plus penalties. The Company filed a petition with the United States Tax Court contesting the notice and believes that it has meritorious legal defenses to the proposed tax deficiency, but the ultimate outcome of the Tax Court case is uncertain. (5) OPERATING REVENUES AND EXPENSES BY SEGMENTS -------------------------------------------- The following segment information reflects operating revenues, operating expenses and gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. Refining Gas Plants Total ------------ ---------- ------------ March 31, 1995 ------------------------------------------ Operating Revenues $ 29,359,316 $ 603,645 $ 29,962,961 Operating Expenses 25,223,910 576,076 25,799,986 ------------ ---------- ------------ Gross Margin $ 4,135,406 $ 27,569 $ 4,162,975 ============ ========== ============ March 31, 1994 ------------------------------------------ Operating Revenues $ 28,877,145 $ 617,907 $ 29,495,052 Operating Expenses 23,429,533 623,275 24,052,808 ------------ ---------- ------------ Gross Margin $ 5,447,612 $ (5,368) $ 5,442,244 ============ ========== ============ (6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- A supply and marketing service agreement was entered into between the Company and GWEC, whereby GWEC purchases crude oil and other raw materials for resale to the Company, at cost, for processing at the refinery. The intercompany purchases of raw materials include all amounts accrued and owing by GWEC to third parties, including prepayments and offsite inventory. Also, the Company sells refined petroleum products to GWEC, at market, for resale by GWEC. The Company has guaranteed the payment by GWEC of an aggregate maximum at any one time of $2,000,000 of present and/or future indebtedness owed to a third party crude oil supplier. (7) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS ---------------------- The Company has a profit sharing plan (defined contribution plan) covering certain non-union employees who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Company. Contributions of $47,522 and $45,537 were accrued for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan for union employees. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount to fund normal cost and amortize unfunded actuarial liabilities over 19 years. Plan assets at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 consist primarily of private and public debt and equity investments. Benefits are based on a percentage of the employee's earnings, as defined, as of June 1, 1993, and years of credited service up to a maximum of 30 years. The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's statements of financial position and operations at December 31, 1994 for the defined benefit pension plan: 1994 --------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $417,559 at December 31, 1994 $(433,264) ========= Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $(433,264) Plan assets at fair value 302,952 --------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (130,312) Unrecognized net obligation existing at January 1, 1989 being recognized over 19 years 8,926 Prior service cost not yet recognized 77,483 Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions 70,391 Adjustment to recognize minimum liability (156,800) --------- Accrued pension liability included in other liabilities $(130,312) ========= Net pension cost includes the following components: Service cost $ 55,079 Interest cost 29,266 Actual return on plan assets 6,557 Net amortization and deferral of other components (19,922) --------- Net periodic pension cost $ 70,980 ========= The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 7.0% for 1994. The expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets was 8.0% in 1994. (8) MAJOR CUSTOMERS --------------- During the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company sold 100% of the refined products to GWEC. Also, during that period, the Company purchased 100% of the crude oil and raw materials from GWEC. (9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ----------------------------- The Company is subject to certain environmental and other regulations primarily administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) and various state agencies. Management of the Company believes it has complied with all material aspects associated with these regulations. The Company entered into an administrative order with the E.P.A. to perform a study to assess the nature of any environmental cleanup requirements at the refinery which was substantially completed in 1994. Management is currently evaluating the E.P.A.'s response and is uncertain as to what, if any, additional costs may be required. The Company is subject to various claims and business disputes in the ordinary course of business. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate outcome of these issues will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. An affiliate of the Company entered into a ten year lease agreement for office space in November 1989. The Company has guaranteed the performance of the affiliate's obligations. Terms of the lease provided for annual rent of $796,000 in 1995 through 1999. In addition to the rent, the Company has guaranteed the annual payment of $328,000 in occupancy costs with provisions for escalation based on actual expenses. Currently, the affiliate of the Company is subleasing certain office space to a third party and a related party.
